Nelson now has three goals and four points over his last five appearances. His 33 goals rank third in Colorado behind Nathan MacKinnon (48) and Martin Necas (34). As the primary playmaker on the second line, Nelson should continue to find plenty of scoring chances in the final weeks of the regular season.
